Standing on the Shoulders of Giants…
Harnessing +2,000 years of accumulated and refined intellectual thought from Western Civilisation
“What do I think of Western Civilisation? I think it would be a very good idea”…
— Mahatma Gandhi
“Because the Western Civilisation is dominated by dualistic thinking, holistic scientists and philosophers don’t get the recognition they deserve”…
— Satish Kumar
To avoid the self-destruction of Western Civilisation now is the time to stand on the shoulders of its intellectual giants and synthesise their ideas.
Particularly, the philosophical ideas of:
- Euclid, Aristotle and Plato;
- Augustine, Aquinas and Duns Scotus;
- Descartes;
- Bacon;
- Kant;
- Rosmini;
- Peirce;
- Husserl;
- Heidegger; and
- Del Noce.
“The very idea of Europe… … is founded on the tradition of Logos”…
– Augusto del Noce

“The moral order…is just as much part of the fundamental nature of the universe (and…of any possible universe in which there are moral agents at all) as is the spatial or numerical structure expressed in the axioms of geometry or arithmetic”…
– W.D. Ross
